Zitat des Tages von Andy Richter:
Anything that I read, I read because I'm interested in it.
But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.
It's funny, because 'Arrested Development' is tied to Andy Richter in a few different ways. For me personally, after I did Andy Richter, one of the next things I did was a show called 'Quintuplets' for a season for Fox, and this was while 'Arrested Development' was on. I used to go over and hang out on their set.
The desire to do different things was the main motivator that made me leave late night because I'd been there seven years. The combination of an entrepreneurial desire to see how far I could push my success and a short attention span. But now I've done other things. And I'm sort of ready to sit somewhere and sit in the same place for a while.
I briefly considered doing Edgar Allan Poe and just swearing a lot.
It's a very nice thing to have a baby.
I was prom king. Which is actually saying I was the sixth most popular, because the five who were on homecoming were automatically disqualified from prom, so of course I have to look at it that way.
I wouldn't want to be a talk show host. That's another awkward compliment people make. 'You should have your own talk show.' And I think, no thank you.
At a very basic level, I think television exists for game shows, and I think it always will.
I want to get back and figure out how we're going to make 'The Tonight Show' funny and good.
The people on 'Quintuplets' were great, but I wasn't a producer on that show, and it wasn't exactly my taste.
I'm not that professional.
If you start to just aim for what the audience wants to hear, you're already hamstrung because you don't have any freedom.
I've always tried to be nice to people, so that sort of translates into popularity, I guess.
I watch mediocre shows that have been on for three or four seasons, and feel angry at them.
No, I don't know any Emily Dickinson poems!
Since she got a cause and stopped being funny. I think she's real funny, but lately it's all been hearts and flowers and tears and saving teenagers and creating a role model. And that ain't funny. No giggles there.
Because homecoming came first, and there was the homecoming court. The five guys on homecoming court were disqualified from being in the prom court. So being prom king was being sixth most popular.
Some people are born with a brain that has this weird, magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.
If somebody's looking at pictures of naked people and you go, 'Oh I don't want to see that,' you're lying. Cause naked people are always interesting. Always. Whether they're beautiful, or naked or 500 pounds.
I mean, I'll say the filthiest things in the world, but when it comes down to it, I'm kind of a prude.
Well, I refer to 'Celebrity Jeopardy ' as the short-bus 'Jeopardy,' because it is a lot easier. Like, there was a whole column basically naming stores in New York.
We've been swimming at nude beaches and I love to go skinny dipping, but I'm sorry, sitting on top of a mountain, that's just, you're trying to show off or something. That's ridiculous.
There are naked people in boots on a mountain top firing guns.
